Thank you very much for this advice. Now with Synth OS 1.4 and Editor 1.62 it seems that my G2 works again. The editor broke down every few minutes if it worked at all, when I had Synth OS 1.62 installed.

It's great i can cure it! Last month I've had a lot of patching and had some freeze affairs. I've minded on some XP or OS X causes, but I see I was mistaken. Thank you, community! I'm on 1.4+1.62Editor know.

please respond to the last both threads... i also can not rollback to 1.4, no chance. i get rid of that usb trouble with g2 engine (os 1.62).
i tried alot troubleshoting on 4 differnent computers win7 or xp, latop or desktop, all doesnt run propper.

ok folks... after a frustrating 12 hours "g2 engine must work" session yesterday with 5 different computers and a bottle of wine i got the silly solution. (The g2 engine wasnt in use for more then 1 year because i was really sad about the connection dropouts.)

After 8 hours testing on 4 PC's with winxp and win7 and several reinstallation of all drivers and editor versions, i had the situation that my g2 engine works on no PC anymore so i was 1 second before throwing it out of my window.

But then comes the BAAMM. I took a shorter usb cable (dont know if that was important) and I gave Windows Vista a chance and i took my girlfriends notebook running 2.16 usb and 1.62 editor. It was working fine with no dropouts after 1hour test. Getting her notebook was not the best way for the future, so i put again from her vista laptop the os 1.62 into the g2 engine. I dont know why but I did it.
Then I took my (cleaned up from all clavia driver and Software waste, registry etc.) winxp sp2 laptop again, putting 1.62 and 2.16usb on it and now its running!!!! -since 3 hours without any dropout.

isnt it stupid???

p.s.: It was the first time it makes me happy that my girlfriend has a Windows Vista Laptop running.

grrr.... 5 minutes after writing this I put the running g2 engine back on its old place on my table and then i got the first connection dropout. Restarting all and it works again. Reinserting the usb cable brings nothing because my winxp laptop says "unknown device". For me it looks a bit like a usb problem in the g2 engine chip.

One note may be interisting for someone, I have an extra laptop to have the editor and the g2 engine running. I dont use my music computer for the G2 engine usb connection. Only midi is connected to the g2 engine from my music PC.

i sent a mail to clavia asking if they think of an other update or a bug fix release ... i got : discontinued product but we think about every & the lot of request we've had about the g2 ... apparently they don't leave aside the g2 ... fingers crossed

...You can use Mac INTEL G2 Editor v1.62 with OS v1.40, they work well together.

This doesn't work... I can't connect the Nord, it says "No Nord Modular G2 connected" on the updater... So, I switch the G2 off and on and says "Found Nord Modular G2", but nothing happens... The "Update" button is greyed out and the only option is to Quit... When I do that I'm back to square 1 saying it is not connected...

How do I 'update' the OS from 1.62 to 1.40 on an Intel Mac?

*ADDENDUM*

I updated the OS to 1.40 using my MacBook Pro (I don't know why the Mac Pro wouldn't see it)... However, the patch will still not load on editor 1.62..._________________My tunes available here
